Style Memories: London

I took these photos when I had first moved to London around October time, myself and a friend took a trip to Kensington Gardens and thought it would be fun to take some snaps. It was a classic autumnal day, the air was crisp and clear and it wasn't cold enough for bare legs (huraaah!).
My dress is one I've owned for a while, I got it on sale in Topshop about 2 years ago and paired it with a cropped jumper from H&M and an oversized black coat from Zara.
My mum has engrained colour in me from a young age so I couldn't go all out monochrome, I love long socks peeking out so I dug out a suitable autumnal pair and my blue Fiorelli bag. Looking back I wish I had gone with a black or raspberry coloured bag to tie in with my socks!
This is generally about as formal as it gets during the day time for me as if I wear a dress in the day its usually with trainers (not ashamed).
I love this outfit as it reminds me of my first couple of months in London, a nervous first year trying to find my feet and trying to remember which tubes to get on! It also reminds me of how much I have evolved since living in the city...basically I now remember which tubes to get on.

L'occitane & My Little Box

L'occitane is a brand I have been a fan of for a while now, especially their Bonne Mere range which I believe is highly under rated, My Grandma actually introduced it to me last christmas with a selection of the range.
I attended the event in which they had collaborated with the french company 'My Little Box', based in Paris it's a monthly lifestyle box subscription service which is a favourite amongst bloggers for its selection of items it sends each month. I personally like that they do something different not just the standard 5 or so beauty products.
I have to say I had kind of forgotten about L'occitane until this event, but I am very glad I was reminded of its presence! It has some absolute corker's in the range, there are obviously the cult classics such as the almond shower oil but the fragrance range has some hidden gems, my friend obsesses over the fig fragrance she blogged about it here.
The event was based in the beautiful little Covent garden store, which is well worth a visit if your around that area.

LDN. PRS. NYC. Photo Diary.

The last 6 months as seen through the lens of my iphone. 

Well after finishing my first academic year at university I thought it was time to reflect on the past 6 months, and I'm happy to say they've been pretty darn good ones. 

After headed to Paris, a month later I got to intern in NYC, which was a complete dream. Then to top it all off I've been living and studying in London with some of the coolest people. 

Needless to say I've come back down from cloud 9 with a bump, Im back home in the country for summer to try and find a job and save some money (and loose some weight, American food takes its toll), but it's not all bad as I'm prepping for Glasto this week...
